Li Jue naturally knew that Li Shimin was reluctant to kill Gao Yang, but this guy was willing to kill other innocent people.
Therefore, he only made a joke with Old Li and then tested the attitude of the master behind Old Li.
However, Li Jue misunderstood Old Li's reaction. His surprise was not because he was reluctant to part with Gao Yang, but because he was surprised that Li Jue dared to kill his own aunt!
Are you sure you want to kill Gao Yang?
Li Shimin's words carried a hint of inquiry and a touch of testing.
If Li Jue insists on killing Gao Yang, he is not unwilling to give Li Jue face, but the throne will be out of Li Jue's reach.
After all, his two greatest pursuits in life were the continuation of the empire and the prosperity of his descendants.
Upon hearing this, Li Jue shook his head in frustration.
"Of course not!"
What would I do with Gao Yang's life?
"Then you suggest killing Gao Yang..."
"I was just joking with you..."
"Tell me, what do you think is the appropriate way to deal with Gao Yang?"
"I?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue looked at Old Li in surprise and asked incredulously.
"Old Li, are you sure what I say carries weight, or are you sure what you say carries weight?"
"Although you have a good relationship with His Majesty the Emperor, it's not so good that you can dispose of his daughter at will, is it?"
"this……"
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
"I was just asking casually, so you can just say whatever you want. It's not a big deal if you're wrong."
"I see!"
"If I were Li Shimin, I would make Gaoyang and Fang Yi'ai divorce, then expel her from the imperial clan, confiscate all her property, and demote her to a commoner. Let's see who would marry her then!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin thought to himself, "Even if she isn't demoted to a commoner, would any good man in the Tang Dynasty still want her?"
But you never know, if I prepare a larger dowry, there will always be someone willing to be my son-in-law...
"Is there any other way?"
"Another way?"
"Then let's exile him to Qianzhou, so he can keep the deposed crown prince and his family company!"
Li Shimin chuckled upon hearing this, thinking, "This grandson really holds a grudge against Qianzhou."
"Uncle Li, the key to this matter is actually how to mitigate the impact!"
"This incident will bring shame upon both the royal family and the Changsun family!"
Li Shimin sighed upon hearing this.
"yes!"
“Gao Yang has really gone too far this time. If he isn’t dealt with seriously, the Fang family will definitely not be able to accept it…”
"Then let them get a divorce!"
"Divorce?"
"And then marry a princess to him?"
"puff!"
Li Jue was amused by Old Li's humor. Putting aside whether Li Er had any suitable princesses, just consider Fang Yi'ai. Was he worthy of marrying two princesses to the Tang Dynasty?
"Old Li, you really dare to say that, hahaha..."
When Li Shimin saw Li Jue laughing, he realized that his ideas were too naive.
If we really do that, the Fang family will save face, but where will the royal family's face be?
"Then let's get a divorce!"
"Then let Gao Yang become a monk for a few years, and we'll talk about it again once things have calmed down!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue gave Old Li a thumbs up.
"clever!"
"That would be best, but I'm afraid Li Er won't be willing to part with it!"
"Li Er..."
Li Shimin suddenly realized that his eldest grandson was being disrespectful to him again, but just as he was about to teach the grandson a lesson, he saw that the grandson had already hidden to the side.
"Be careful next time, do not address His Majesty like that!"
Li Jue rolled his eyes upon hearing this, thinking to himself that calling him Li Er was already being too polite!
"Old Li, you didn't come here today just for this, did you?"
"Of course not!"
"There's going to be a military parade in a few days, right? I wanted to tell you to do your best!"
"Performance?"
To be honest, Li Jue never intended to steal the spotlight at the military parade.
After all, given his status, if he were to really stand out, wouldn't he be putting himself in the spotlight?
"Let's see how things go then!"
"Kid, if you don't behave yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue looked at Old Li in a provocative manner.
"Why aren't you being polite?"
"Hang me up and beat me?"
"If you dare to hit me, believe me, I'll run off to the Turkic Khaganate and become a Jielifa!"
"this……"
Li Shimin felt a pang of frustration upon hearing this.
"never mind!"
"It's up to you to decide. Anyway, I've already said what I needed to say. Don't blame me if you miss this opportunity!"
After saying these words, Li Shimin left, his departure utterly desolate and forlorn.
Although Li Jue's desire to go to the Western Turks angered him, he couldn't do anything about the child when he thought about what his father had done to him.
Li Jue stood on the second floor of the inn, watching Old Li's departing figure, a hint of doubt on his face.
"Opportunity?"
What opportunity could I possibly have?
"Old Li wouldn't tell Li Er my identity, would he? And Li Er wants to see how I perform at the city gate, would he?"
"But what good will it do to just glance at me? They won't make me the crown prince just because I've performed well!"
Li Jue said he didn't care, but two days before the military parade, he returned to Sanglin Zhechong Prefecture and ate and slept with more than a thousand soldiers.
Because the parade was to be held in Chang'an, they set off a day in advance.
Like everyone else, Li Jue carried a huge bag and traveled on foot.
Although Xianyang is only a few dozen miles from Chang'an, it still took them a whole day to travel there. Fortunately, his base was in Chang'an, and the food court had prepared meals for 1,200 people in advance, so they could start eating as soon as they arrived.
